Mum found a worm in nougat: Advice?

Hi TL,

As the title states, my mum found a worm around 1.5cm in size when trying to consume a nougat bar. She found something peculiar with the bar after unwrapping it and decided to inspect closely. To her horror, she found out there was a worm lying inside and it was still alive!

My brother had bought the pack from Australia back to Singapore around one week ago and stored it in our food cupboard (air-tight). Its the $28 AUS 1kg pack for you guys who want to know.

My mum is planning to lodge a complaint to the company at this very moment. So is there any advice I should follow?

Thanks

Edit: I'll try to post pics when I get hold of the camera
Edit 2: The worm is 1.5cm not 5mm wtf
Edit 3: After inspecting the wrapper, it was perfectly fine with no holes whatsoever, so the worm must have been bred before the packaging

Make sure to give me some money when you sue.

And give TL a shoutout in the news interview. But make it subtle so the reporters don't cut it out.

Oh dang! That's crazy I've never heard of something like that before, with candy anyway. I would just say that you get as many pictures as you can to show them but looks like you're on top of it.

Lol its perfectly reasonable to sue in this situation right? Just that its an Australian company and the product was brought back to Singapore so I'm not too sure what the procedure would be. =/

You'll probably end up getting an apology and replacement. Remember to keep proof of purchase (ie receipt/wrapper)

Always eat the worm, it prevents hangovers.

Solid advice in my opinion.

I don't understand how a worm would be alive inside a candy bar, unless it bore in there later on. So it's not really the company's fault in this case.

Maybe there were eggs in some of the ingredients? I dunno, that's just bizarre.

Doesn't really make any sense it would still be alive after a week, especially being in an air-tight package. The first thing that came to mind when I heard this is the severed finger in wendie's chili story

I'm pretty sure the worm just chewed through the package into the candy bar. If you still have the wrapper, inspect it for any holes. There's actually been quite a few reports on this happening, so it seems to be pretty common. Just search "worm in candy bar" on google and you get a bunch of results. There have been some theories from people in comments about how insects get into the ingredients when they are being made, but I doubt that actually happens.

Why not, there was no way a worm could bore inside the candy bar with the 2 layers of wrapping and a room-temperature environment. One layer is the individual wrapper on all the bars and the other one was the big pack which contained all the individual bars. The worm must have been from the company's factory or something.

Hm, not sure what to tell you then. Apparently this is quite the common occurrence but companies haven't been getting in trouble for it.

Sometimes you feel like a worm,
Sometimes you don't.

Wait so worms can survive without air?

I'm confused.

1.5cm worm vs. all the air trapped in a sealed small plastic bar, makes me wonder how it's able to survive without oxygen for so long.

Hazelnuts / others nuts in nougat have eggs very often in them, but they use ultrasounds to kill most of them, then the surviving eggs die when pouring the hot mix of egg white and sugar (main constituent of nougat) on the nuts.
I guess you found an incredibly strong strain !

You should definitely let it grow to see in what stuffs it morphs itself. If the worm is 1.5 cm, my bet is a huge cockroach :D You could take pictures every day and post them on your blog. Then take bets on what insects it's gonna be ! (You'll sure earn more this way than if you're trying to sue them)

YES! No reason not to take action here. Imagine consuming a worm because the company failed to maintain its level of hygiene.
